Cam was such an AMAZING addition to our rehearsal dinner! He is incredibly talented and has an amazing setlist that our friends & family loved. We discovered Cam from a flyer and went to check him out at The Fisherman’s View one night. We instantly loved his style of music and his kind, easygoing personality made it great to work with him leading up to our wedding weekend! He was SUCH a hit at our rehearsal dinner, our friends & family were crowding around him and we got so many compliments on how awesome he was! Everyone loved his choice of music and it made for such a fun atmosphere for our rehearsal dinner! We have friends that have gone to see him at other venues since the wedding and another who already wants to book him for another event! Highly recommend booking him for your next event!!
I hosted an engagement party for my daughter and Cam was simply awesome! Arrived early, set up and played right away. He has a beautiful voice and all the guests loved the music selection!!!!
We were able to work with Cam for our welcome/rehearsal dinner. He is an amazing singer and guitarist! His song selection was awesome and our guests were absolutley raving about his performance (as were we)! We would host another event just to have an excuse to work with him again - we HIGHLY recommend Cam!
Cam is so talented, professional, kind, and amazing to work with! It was a dream come true having him play during our wedding ceremony and he made it that much more special and memorable!
My husband and I had a vision of what we wanted for our wedding entertainment. We got married at a Brewery and want an acoustic guitar vibe. On a whim I searched acoustic guitar player. After going thru about a 100 people I came across Cam. He was the guy I was searching for but it was kinda site unseen because we had never actually seen him live in person. Let me tell you all something , Cam exceeded every single expectation I had. So super easy to work with, plays with heart, and sounds incredible. Every single wedding guest came to me to tell me how Awesome Cam was! Keep on , keep on, very cool cat Cam is!!!!
Cam is so talented and so easy to work with! Loved by all ages - takes all the stress out of an event- everyone loved his song choices and sound! Highly recommend!
Can was very responsive and easy to work with. He played effortlessly to add a very special touch to our daughter’s graduation. Everyone was raving. Cam is a talented musician and I would highly recommend!! We can’t wait to plan our next event !
Cam is professional, kind and a wonderful musician. This is the second time I’ve hired him and I love him! I’m going to book him for next year. I highly recommend.
Cam was amazing! So professional, so helpful getting set up for our event, and his music was great. He made everyone at the party happy!! We would book him again in a heartbeat.
Hired Cam to play at my husband's birthday party. Everyone LOVED him! Guests kept asking me "Where did you find him? He is amazing!" He was super nice, played whatever we wanted, and sounds amazing! Highly recommend.
Highly recommend Cam. He did a wonderful job for my husbands 50th Birthday.
Myself, my guests and most importantly my Husband who's Birthday we were celebrating could not get over how amazing Cam was at our party. If I could give him a million stars I would. He is an incredible singer, the NICEST guy, and played a wonderful set bases on a pretty loose request list. I can't wait to have Cam at another event.
Thank you CAM!!!!!!
Cam was absolutely amazing. He played at our wedding reception and I cannot tell you how many of our guests raved about him & requested his information for future events. Not only is he SO talented, he is also extremely professional with a great personality. He far exceeded our expectations. If you need a singer/guitarist for your event, Cam will not disappoint!
Cam is an incredible performer. Our guests raved about his musical talent all evening.
He is extremely professional and a fantastic find!
Will be recommending and using again in future!
Cam played at my backyard wedding last weekend and he was a huge hit! Multiple people at my wedding asked for his information to hire him for their future weddings and events! We could not have been more impressed! Cam was so easy to work with and was so flexible with time changes and any requests leading up to the event. We will 1000% hire him in the future!
I was very nervous and hesitant about booking someone I have never met to play for my wedding. I have heard horror stories about people not showing up, being inappropriate, or worse. If you are feeling hesitant whatsoever about booking Cam STOP and book him immediately! To be honest I couldn’t say more wonderful things about Cam, but I will try. Upon booking he reached out and got a feel for the vibe we were looking for, checked in about guests to see if it needed to be kid friendly music and learned specific requests for our big day. He checked in again a few days ahead to ensure we were on the same page and that the timing would work for our wedding party to walk down the aisle. He arrived early to set up and was extremely friendly, well spoken and attentive. He played “first date” by Blink 182 as we walked down the aisle (our special request) and it was breath taking. While I am sure some of the jaws dropped were for me in my wedding dress he really blew everyone away. As we did a very quick ceremony, he quickly made it to the bottom of a very large hill and set up for our cocktail hour on the outside patio, just as guests were getting a drink. He was friendly and engaging to every guest, taking requests and played everything beautifully. He put such an amazing energy into his singing and really made all the songs we love come to life with his playing. As I stated before you hear horror stories about awful things happening when booking, well the DJ we had booked for the reception still hadn’t arrived as cocktail hour was ending (mind you he was scheduled to set up at 4pm and it was 6:30pm). Cam didn’t miss a beat, he honestly took so much stress away from us, as we had only booked until that time and were very nervous that we would have a 100 guests listening to the radio for the rest of the evening. Well it wasn't even a question we had to ask him, he continued to play and delight our guests with a smile on his face until the DJ had arrived and set up. He had a wonderful energy and brought that positive energy to us and our guests. He was extremely flexible and accommodating the entire evening and I am SOOO happy that we decided to book him because it really made our night so magical. If there was a way to give more stars I would have!
Cam was exceptional with communication, promptness, professionalism, and performance. I will definitely be hiring him for more events in the future. Highly recommended!
My family hired Cam to perform at a surprise 30th birthday party. He was so easy and friendly to work with leading up to the party, allowing me to send specific song and artist requests that he could learn. The day of the event he was punctual and very gracious, even offering to help my family set up! Everyone at the party was asking for his name and information, he is truly so talented. I know this will not be last time we work with Cam! Thanks a million for making our event even more special.
Cam was a total professional- extremely pleasant and incredibly talented. I would not hesitate to hire him again! Everyone loved his playlist - and he made the celebration truly special. Thank you Cam!
Cam was fantastic and made our day even more special.
He has a fantastic attitude and was so easy to work with. He learned and played our song "Joy of my Life" with my son and even doubled as a photographer so we could get a group photo. Such a great voice and a huge catalog to play.
We will definitely ask him to play future events. Recommend his services - 100%.
Thanks again Cam.
Cam was very accommodating and pleasant to work with
Cam Cotham has an incredible voice and wide musical capacity.
We had Cam play acoustic for my wife’s 40th birthday party. He was great and super flexible to our needs. He had a great selection of songs and a great voice. We highly recommend him!
Front & Turner performed for one of my retail clients during a weekend promotional event. They were very easy to work with, had great communication, and did a fantastic job creating a fun atmosphere at the store. I would definitely hire again!
Cam was easy to book and reliable. He came on time and played a great set. Everyone loved him. I would recommend and hope to book him for our party next year!
Cam, from Front and Turner, was amazing! Had amazing communication before and during the party to make sure nothing was missed! His voice was amazing- he took requests- even from the little guys running around - there was even a rendition of baby shark that came out! When he stared with Counting Crows, we knew we made the right decision! This made our party and we absolutely recommend and would hire again and again!

Cam Cotham has been playing out and about every weekend all over New England before and after the plague- mainly Boston and the South Shore between incredible weddings, backyard throwdowns, pub crawls, breweries and restaurants. Laid back or in-your-face crowd-singalong throwbacks, he can bring it all. If you love 90s alternative, you'll love Cam- and you'll likely love him even if that's not your thing... he's flexible. Musically... not so much physically ;)
